No video.....sorry. But I have submitted a claim to my insurance company as my initial estimates place the damage at over $3K just for the wheels and tires.... |

I talked to my claims person today, they have me all hooked up and I will be ok. This includes every part of the front wheel minus discs, which is ok as I got new Galfer rotors at the MOA rally along with new ceramic pads so that upgrade will go on the new Option 719 wheels which I am 99% sure will fit as the part number for the standard wheel is the same from an R1200RS and a R1250RS so I see no other reason why they shouldn't work.....PLUS I got the money for new tires and to paint the wheels as well so I might have Color matched Lupin Blue Option 719 wheels! But I will wait to see what the Option 719 Classic wheels look like first. I don't think I want the Option 719 "sport" which is the same wheel with a gloss black finish......I'm going to call Max BMW and see what kind of delivery timelines I'm looking at for all of the parts, hopefully in a few weeks or less.... |

Zitat von BMWSandman im Beitrag #6 I am really glad this turned out OK. Super scary event. |

Zitat von BMWSandman im Beitrag #6 I always liked the blue wheels on the K1200S Tri Color. I have seen good pictures of the gloss black 719 wheels but not the light grey Classic 719 wheels. You can see the grey 719 wheel on the R1250RS bike on the BMW Build Your Own site, but it's not a great picture. If you can keep your old wheels send pictures to Woody Wheels to see if they can fix them. If it's possible to fix your old wheels you might get a good price for your 719 wheels if you don't paint them when you trade or sell your bike. Put the old wheels on and sell the 719 wheels.

Decisions decisions! Thanks for posting up the pics Lee! Interesting that the last photo of the classic looks to have a polished/machined lip and the first picture of the classic does not? Either way, I am leaning toward the "classic" I do like the more HP vibe of these wheels when compared tot he normal wheels, similar to my Son's S1000R with the forged HP wheels option. However these Option 719 wheels are always referred to as "cast" so I think they are just that with some additional machining to the casting, probably after painting to diamond cut the raised areas. |

Zitat von BMWSandman im Beitrag #11 I thought the same when I first looked at the bottom picture. After looking at a few pictures the lip appears to be painted. It would be nice if these were lighter weight forged wheels, but like you, all the info I see shows they are cast.

If the wheels look like that as shown I will be ok with that I'm sure. For some reason the black to me wont look as good. |
